Just chiming in to say that I've had the pleasure to see in person Stefan's students working with this program and was very impressed with how effective it is.

One nice thing is that Stefan not only asks them to use the program to compare DGS and German, but also to compare DGS with Signed German. In this way, even if students use Signed German as a bridge for understanding German grammar, they can also clearly see how DGS grammar differs from Signed German.

Thus, the use of Signed German in this context need not undermine students' acquisition of Signed German. :)

Hi all! I'm enjoying the presentation from home. I'm not sure
how to ask questions live (and I remember the difficulties caused last
year when too many people tried to participate at once), so I thought
I'd post questions here, to be answered later at people's convenience.

So,
Yair, this is really great. A quick question: in setting up the
keyboard, how did you decide where to place different elements on the
split board? I'm interested in the physical skill/habits involved in
typing. Given that this is a different type of writing system, I'm
wondering what research you might have done to come up with a layout
that might be physically efficient, or perhaps intuitive for those
accustomed to using a qwerty keyboard, or whether there were other kinds
of considerations.
